Where does the time go? We are already playing December football. Sorry that I missed some time on vacation but I am happy to report that I was dialed in on the picks in Las Vegas well enough to pay for my trip. I think next season I may have to revise this feature and try picking against the line.

 But for this week here are your straight up Office Pool winners.

 Denver over Oakland ( Peyton Manning on Prime Time will handle playing in the Black Hole )

St. Louis over Buffalo ( Bradford keeps getting better and Jeff Fisher has these guys starting to believe they can win )

Cincinatti over Dallas ( Cowboys booking vacations as its over for this year )

Cleveland over Kansas City ( Browns improving and Mike Holmgren wont be around to get the credit )

Indianapolis over Tennessee ( How lucky are Colts fans to get Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck all in one generation ? )

Chicago over Minnesota ( Thanks to the Seahawks the Bears now have a must win )

Tampa Bay over Philly ( Eagles are another unexpected also ran that is officially toast )

Washington over Baltimore ( This will be a test for RG3 but he has been passing them all lately )

Atlanta over Carolina ( This is a dangerous pick as Falcons are due for a letdown )

Jets over Jacksonville ( Jets will win just enough to save the Coaches job )

Pittsburgh over San Diego ( Steelers still fighting for a playoff spot )

San Francisco over Miami ( I would love to see a Dolphin victory but I have my doubts )

Seattle over Arizona ( The NFC West revenge tour begins with Zona )

Giants over New Orleans ( The Saints collapsed against Atlanta and wont be coming back )

Green Bay over Detroit ( The Packers love home games in December especially at night Brrr ! )

 New England over Houston ( Another game with the potential to be chilly. Thats why I go against the warm weather Texans )

 I feel pretty good about this week. Happy Holidays and Go Seahawks ! Joe
